This was a wonderful tour. Dawn was our guide. I was a little uncertain about the trip because the weather promised rain during the day, but we still were able to see a lot of nature as the rain came and went. Very easy going tour. We hit the major highlights but never felt like I was on a schedule or someone else's schedule. Learned a great deal about the areas we visited and a lot about New Zealand during short hikes and our van rides. I would recommend to anyone who was interested in getting away from Auckland for a day, but doesn't want to commit to a lot of travel time to do so. So many wonderful pictures. A very calm, fun, beautiful day.

Great all-day tour outside Auckland to a surrounding temperate rain forest and to the west coast. David was a excellent driver/tour guide, and found a wonderful secluded place for us to have lunch away from the beach because it was a day with unusually high winds.

This tour was fantastic. Scenery was beautiful and the hiking was perfect. Our tour guide, Kevin, was amazing---knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. We loved it.

Excellent tour. Sean was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a wanderful day, probably the best one day tour in my trip to NZ!

This was one of the highlights of my holiday in NZ. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to answer our queries. We went to 3 different locations which showed us the main features of the sub tropical rainforest and it was hard to believe that we were so close to urban Auck!and. If you want to get up close to the natural environment of this area then this is the trip for you.

Excellent in every way! Our tour guy Warren was the best and a great communicator. He was intent on making our experience memorable and managed our time so well. We all really enjoyed the day!

We had a great tour with our tour guide Tony. Tony was great and very knowledgeable of the area. The sites were breath taking. We had a great lunch at the beach as we watched surfers do their thing. It was a great trip and I recommend it to everyone..

It was a private tour organized for our group of 4 persons. The tour was well organized and very informative. The nature was so pristine. We were very happy that we made the trip. The day was well spent!

I had a great time. I was on a small tour of five people and was able to walk around and feel the atmosphere of the place. There are no shopping trips though only nature walks around the black sanded beaches and the forest.

great tour. It was a small group of 5 so we were able to go where larger groups and buses could. Beatiful scenery and great exercise. Not for someone who doesn't want to walk!

It was a GREAT Tour, and our tour-guide - David Woodhouse - was very knowledgable and gave us a splended Tour. He made this one of the best - if not the VERY BEST tour of the 7 or 8 tours we had during our recent visit to Australia and New Zealand.

This tour was excellent. It gave us a good understanding of the native flora and the history of Auckland and the Maori. Our guide Alex was outstanding very knowledgeable and passionate about New Zealand. This is a great way to get out of Auckland and see the surrounding beauty of the North Island.
